Q,

All of those stockholders are suffering except for individuals with no diversity. Have you seen the Dow Jones? The banks a credit unions stockholders are suffering most because of the lack of oversight that led to the current liquidity crisis and all businesses except for oil related businesses are suffering because of the price of oil.

Exxon Mobil's profits are coming at the expense of everyone else, especially the average US voter.

It may or not be obscene, but if you don't vote against changing the status quo, you are not voting in your own economic self interest.
